CloudFlare works behind the scenes to block known security threats. Abusive bots and crawlers will be automatically limited from wasting your bandwidth and server resources.
In the end, CloudFlare helps you, it helps us, and it helps your sites’ visitors.
DreamHost customers have two options for adding CloudFlare services to their sites:
- “CloudFlare Free” is FREE and available to anyone with any domains hosted through DreamHost.
- “CloudFlare Plus” is a package exclusive to DreamHost customers. This optional upgrade ($9.95 monthly) adds automatic image optimization and support for SSL.
To enable CloudFlare on any of your DreamHost-hosted domains, just visit the “Manage Domains” section of your account control panel:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=domain.manage
Click the “edit” button for any of your Fully Hosted domains, then simply click the “Enable CloudFlare” checkbox. You will then be asked to choose between CloudFlare’s basic (FREE) plan and the DreamHost-exclusive CloudFlare Plus plan.
Make your choice and voila! It’s that simple! You don’t have to touch your website’s content at all. There is no code to embed and no software to configure!

We are so excited to bring CloudFlare to all DreamHost customers and hope you all take advantage of its free features!
